5 Series E60 530d (M57TU) SAL
-
On sharp bends, the vehicle's speed will be controlled in such a way that lateral acceleration does not
exceed a maximum of 4.0 m/s
2
to maintain driving comfort.
•
Timed separation less than 1 second
The timed separation from a vehicle driving ahead is no less than 1 second in the adjusted status. In certain
conditions (e.g. when a vehicle cuts in a short distance ahead), this timed separation may briefly be less
than 1 second.
If the deceleration induced by the cruise control is not sufficient, the driver will have to intervene directly.
•
ACC sensor blind
If the ACC sensor is blinded, the Active Cruise Control option shuts down. (Blinding, e.g. due to extremely
heavy snowfall, through a layer of ice on the sensor or through dirt)
Cruise control can be reactivated after the ACC sensor has been cleaned.
•
Bends cannot be detected in an anticipatory manner
The cruise control is unable to work in an anticipatory manner when the vehicle is cornering. It is only able
to react to existing lateral acceleration when it is already on the bend. For this reason, the driver is
responsible for ensuring that an appropriate speed is being driven as the vehicle enters the bend.
•
Active Cruise Control deactivated after DSC intervention or brake application by the driver
Cruise control will be deactivated following DSC intervention or a brake application by the driver. (DSC
intervention in the sense of enhanced operating stability.)
Cruise control will then have to be reactivated at the cruise control steering-column stalk.
Operation
Operation of the Active Cruise Control option is described in the Owner's Handbook.
